Lunar shadow in the sky

19 seconds long total solar eclipse gives a unique opportunity to observe the small lunar shadow in the sky. This fascinating image was taken by Petr Horálek by means of fisheye lens and shows not only the lunar shadow but also illustrates the enormous luck. The Sun emerged just before totality from cloud cover.
